I just finished this table for our new house at the beach; I did a small modification at the moment of fixing the breadboards; besides the pocket holes I also used dowels for extra strength. If someone sits on the front of the table it could be a problem.
Another detail I included,is a simple way to clamp the diagonal pieces, much more firmly than with tape.
I am quite happy with the results, I will now finish the table with lacquer.
